I (Toffer) am writing this message shortly after arriving back home after our time at the Christ Covenant Presbyterian Church (Farragut, TN) Missions Conference.  We are honored to have been invited and to have the opportunity to share what God is doing through radio in Asia-Pacific. We had the opportunity to reconnect with some that we haven’t seen in years and connect with new people that we hope to get to know better as time goes on.

We are asking you to join with us in prayer each day during the month of March to see God do amazing things and meet a goal that can only be accomplished by Him.

Before I get into the details of what to pray for I’d like to share where this vision comes from.  One of the opportunities you have when attending a church missions conference is hearing from speakers that truly challenge you.  This weekend Dr. Frank Barker, Jr. challenged us to step out in faith when God calls us to give or to serve regardless of what our human understanding tries to limit us to.  As our own pastor has said, the problem with our dreams is not that they are too big, rather that they are too small.  C.S. Lewis in The Weight of Glory describes the mentality well… “Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”  I find myself too often easily pleased and too limited in my vision.

So building on that we are taking our own step of faith and asking you to pray daily for the next month that by the end of March these two goals would be met:

1) Our level of monthly support with HCJB Global would increase from 30% to 50%.
2) The number of prayer supporters would increase by 20.

This type of increase in support is impossible by our own means but we know that with God all things are possible.  Even in the midst of tight economic times we know that God is our true resource.  He is one who “owns the cattle on a thousand hills.” (Psalm 50:10)

_____________________________

Here’s a breakdown of the numbers:
1) 30% to 50% is an increase of $1767 in monthly, ongoing support.  A possible scenario of how it could break down for families/individuals to pledge monthly support to HCJB Global:
10 at 1/2% ($44+)
10 at 1% ($88+)
2-3 at 2+% ($176+)

2) 20 people telling us they will receive regular prayer requests from our family and lift our family and ministry up in prayer
